A 1.5m wire carries a 6 A current when a potential difference of 68 V is applied. What is the resistance of the wire?

ANTONII [103]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

11.3 \Omega

Explanation:

We can find the resistance of the wire by using Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage applied

R is the resistance

I is the current

In this problem, we know I = 6 A and V = 68 V, so we can re-arrange the equation to find the resistance of the wire:

R=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{68 V}{6 A}=11.3 \Omega

In which situation is static electricity most likely to form?
Papessa [141]

Answer:

I'd go for 'Marie drives a car'

Explanation:

Static electricity will possible form in all the scenarios, but is more likely to form when you're driving a car. This is due to the friction between the body of the car and the particles in the air around the body of the car. This is why chains are sometimes attached to fuel tankers when transporting them. The chain is made to touch the ground so that any charge built up can be safely conducted to the earth, reducing the chances of a fire outbreak due to charges igniting the fuel.

Two particles are located on the x axis. particle 1 has a mass m and is at the origin. particle 2 has a mass 2m and is at x = +l
wlad13 [49]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

<span>
The force on m is:</span>

<span>
GMm / x^2 + Gm(2m) / L^2 = 2[Gm (2m) / L^2] -> 1

The force on 2m is:</span>

<span>
GM(2m) / (L - x)^2 + Gm(2m) / L^2 = 2[Gm (2m) / L^2] -> 2

From (1), you’ll get M = 2mx^2 / L^2 and from (2) you get M = m(L - x)^2 / L^2 

Since the Ms are the same, then 

2mx^2 / L^2 = m(L - x)^2 / L^2 

2x^2 = (L - x)^2 

xsqrt2 = L - x 

x(1 + sqrt2) = L 

x = L / (sqrt2 + 1) From here, we rationalize. 

x = L(sqrt2 - 1) / (sqrt2 + 1)(sqrt2 - 1) 

x = L(sqrt2 - 1) / (2 - 1) 


x = L(sqrt2 - 1) </span>

 

= 0.414L

 

<span>Therefore, the third particle should be located the 0.414L x axis so that the magnitude of the gravitational force on both particle 1 and particle 2 doubles.</span>

A cycle track is 500 metres long. Amy completes 10 laps. She travelled at an average speed of 12.5 metres per second. She puts o
yanalaym [24]
The fast lap is irrelevant to the question, because it didn't happen
until after the 9 laps that you're interested in.

To be perfectly technical about it, we don't actually have enough
information to answer the question.  You told us her average speed
for 10 laps, but we don't know anything about how her speed may
have changed during the whole 10 laps.  For all we know, maybe
she took a nap first, and then got up and drove 10 laps at the speed
of 125 metres per second.  That would produce the average speed
of 12.5 metres per second and we would never know it  Why not ?
That's only 280 miles per hour.  Bikes can do that, can't they ?

IF we can assume that Amy maintained a totally steady pace through
the entire 10 laps, then we could say that her average for 9 laps was
also 12.5 metres per second.

What is the velocity of a wave with a wavelength of 1.5m and a frequency of 500 Hz
Schach [20]
Wave speed  =  (wavelength) x (frequency)

                       = (1.5 m) x (500 / sec)

                       =       750 m/s .
